Title: "So you want to be a Host?" 2012
Post by: nekovamp13 on February 24, 2011, 09:51:04 pm
Want to learn the ways of being the perfect Host? Then join the Hosts of Ouran as they teach you the basics (with special surprises ;)).

This is an idea that I played with and others wanted to do it, so we're gonna try!

Since we can't have a tea party, we decided that a regular panel would still be fun ^^

Basically, we want to have it like a class where the hosts will give pointers and demos on how to be a host. There will also be Tamaki torturings and other surprises throughout the panel.

This is just for fun and laughs! And would love feed back on the idea, ideas for "lessons" and anything else ^^

But of course, how can we have this without any hosts?! So, fill this form out to be a host for the panel~

Name:
Character:
Picture:
How well can you stay in character:
Best way of Contact:
Live:

It's easier to plan this if we can actually meet up, hence I asked where you live. If you don't want to give out some of the info out to the world, you may PM me the form.

WE HAVE A FACEBOOK GROUP!!!
All Hosts and helpers much join this group so we can discuss ideas, practice and figure out meetings. Just go here (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_205756586109444&ref=notif&notif_t=group_activity#!/profile.php?id=1353240719) and request to friend me and tell me who you are and I'll add you to the group. Thanks~!

~Your Hosts~
(You can sign up for a character even if it's taken, for we may need understudies!)
Tamaki: ElVerde
Kyouya: Ten-Ten
Hikaru/Kaoru: nekovamp13/Taikei
Hunny: Steelychan
Mori:
Haruhi: Kori123

~Special Guests~

We can also have "special" guests join us, being people like Renge and Nekozawa. Just tell me who you want to be!
As well, if you just want to help out, just tell me!

Post by: nekovamp13 on February 24, 2011, 10:10:01 pm
Okay, thanks ^^

Something we need to think about is what kinda theme we wanna do instead of wearing the uniforms???

I think we need to come up with our own theme so we don't have to worry about trying to copy an outfit they already did.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Kori123 on February 24, 2011, 10:13:37 pm
Right.  XD  Well...  If we want to be as Host Club as possible, it'd be something elaborate and wild and such...  Over the top but still simple enough so we don't have to spend tons of money. 
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: nekovamp13 on February 24, 2011, 10:38:35 pm
Some ideas~
Pirate, Steampunk, punk/visual kei...

Another thing that would be cool is to do something with rain and umbrellas and such, so it's like Kumoricon themed.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Kori123 on February 24, 2011, 10:46:02 pm
Punk/visual kei would be fuuuun.  I have tons of outfits for them.  I have a couple cute dresses I could wear for Haruhi too.  I wasn't sure how to use them.  That'd be a cool way to do it.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: nekovamp13 on February 24, 2011, 11:01:44 pm
I'm working on making my own clothing as well, so I could use those.

Some other ideas~
7 sins, Themed "types (little devil type, Prince type, etc), Angel/Devil, original Wonderland...
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Kori123 on February 24, 2011, 11:11:42 pm

The types could be fun too.  But some would be difficult to portray. 

I don't know.  XD  I'll talk to Emily tomorrow and ask he what she thinks.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: nekovamp13 on February 24, 2011, 11:16:30 pm
Yeah, I agree.

Another idea would be their colors. That would give people more freedom with style of clothing.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Kori123 on February 24, 2011, 11:19:34 pm

Yeah...unfortunately most of my clothes I'd use are pink...  Haruhi can wear pink I guessXD
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Saki-the-cat on February 24, 2011, 11:22:00 pm
Oh, could i show up as Nekozawa? I already have the cloak and uniform, so all i would need is a Beelzenef.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"

name: steely
character: hunny

best way of contact: well, kristi has my cell number and pm works
live: currently, in beaverton. but ill be moving to vancouver late may early june.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: nekovamp13 on February 25, 2011, 12:02:01 am
Kori, I guess...Though her color is actually red. Honey is pink.

Saki, sure.

Steely, thanks!

Also I should add something, can you guys stay in character?
I think the biggest things is looking like the character and staying in character.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Kori123 on February 25, 2011, 12:36:33 am

Everything I have is pink but I can probably buy some red before then.

Well yeah we'll be in character.  Any time I cosplay I'm in character.  I hate when people aren't.  Drives me crazy.  I even stay in character sometimes without meaning to. 
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: steelychan on February 25, 2011, 08:57:19 am
ok, i can do hunny as a drag pirate (it would hilarious) but i think we should the little angels/little devils idea. i dont really have anything as visual kei... sometimes i get lucky and find something at ross though. and staying in character with hunny should be fine. wait, kori! we could do the twins! wait, kristi are you and taikei being the twins for this?
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Kori123 on February 25, 2011, 10:00:33 am
Yeah, they got the twins.  That's fine by me though.  I've never tried a character like Haruhi though so we'll see.  I'll just practice lots...or switch with Emily but she's SO tall.  And she does flamboyant so well...
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: steelychan on February 25, 2011, 10:53:22 am
ok. i thought as much. the twin part i mean.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Kori123 on February 25, 2011, 11:07:36 am
Yeah X3  That's fine.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Taikei on February 25, 2011, 01:39:31 pm
Kristiiiii we'll have to practice!! I'm gonna die! S':
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Teddy_Bearxx on February 25, 2011, 04:06:08 pm
I was hoping I could be deh Haruhi since I've done it before but..
I'll sign up for Haruhi anyway,
people tend to beat the punch.

I can always just be standing to the side and helping out during the panel, if needed.


Name: Teddy- Jesse- May- Jericho (dont ask)
Character: Haruhi Understudy or a helper with the panel
Picture: Ain't got one.
How well can you stay in character: Calm, mummble rich basterds, get angry with Tamaki, be nice and gentel with guests.
Best way of Contact: PM me, here or Facebook.
Live: McMinnville

For a theme;
Carnival/Circus
Fantasy- Witches Wizards Dawrfs etc-
Alice in Wonderland (our own outfits, Haruhi in Wonderland mod.)
Disney?
Hosts- like an actual ball, dance, feast. Regular black tux.

want more?

Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: nekovamp13 on February 26, 2011, 12:39:05 am
Steely, yeah, sorry. I started it so I have the rights to claim peoples >>

Taikei, I know! As I said, we could change roles. You just need to be uke ^^

Teddy, that's fine. You could talk with Kori about it. I might feel more comfortable having you be her since you have been Haruhi before. But we'll see.

Everyone, we should start talking about dates that we can all meet up. At the meet we can talk about themes and even do mini auditions for the characters. And even get comfortable acting with each other.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Kori123 on February 26, 2011, 10:22:59 am
Yeah, I might just drop this then.  I really wanted to be part of it but I don't want to ruin it for anyone ^-^;;
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Teddy_Bearxx on February 26, 2011, 10:35:43 am
well its all up to you Kori.

and Kristi, thats a good idea meeting up, check everyones spring break schedules.
Maybe there will be a free day for everyone?
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: steelychan on February 26, 2011, 11:13:02 am
i can do tuesday, thursday, and friday of spring break.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Teddy_Bearxx on February 26, 2011, 04:42:01 pm
I can do All of spring break except for Monday i believe.
I'll go cheak.

*Friday, March 18th: Open
Saturday, March 19th: Open
Sunday, March 20th: Open*

Monday, March 21st:  Pokemon Spring Meetup
Tuesday, March 22nd: Open
Wensday, March 23rd: Open
Thursday, March 24th: Open

*Friday, March 25th: Open
Saturday, March 26th:  Kingdom Hearts Cosplay Day Out
Sunday, March 27th: Have to be home*

The weeks between the stars are more or less maybes, except the first weekend.
The first weekend depends on if I get a ride and have a place to stay, because the YCAP bus doesn't run on weekends from MAC to HILLSBORO.

EVERYTHING depends on if I get a job and/or have money for the busses-
considering I dont have a place to stay.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"

Post by: Taikei on February 27, 2011, 07:15:00 pm
I guess we could switch. I'm good at blushing and being an uke. XD I think that we could technically just change the bangs on our wigs,  yeah?
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"

Hmmm, I dont really now :o

maybe Saturday the 18th for the Yoai/Yuri picnic...
the bus from Hillsboro to Mac is only a dollar each way, so really, it doesn't matter.
Normally I spend a couple days in portland when I come like this.

Ok.

Does Thursday 24th at 2 at Pioneer mall sound good w/ everyone?
And we could meet earlier if ya all want to hang out and such.
And I'd like it if everyone cosplayed, that way we all can see eachother. You should just do casual.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: steelychan on March 15, 2011, 11:37:10 pm
i can just text you or call when i get done. im pretty sure the chinese garden wouldnt mind if i did my shift hunny style. ill ask though. also, i cant stay for too long due to im going to my aunts house the same day. (this might be the busiest day of the week for me)
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Kori123 on March 16, 2011, 09:46:25 am
That should work.  I'll tell you when the week gets closer.  My work schedule might hinder me and Emiri might not go if I'm not there with her.  She gets shy meeting people for the first time.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: nekovamp13 on March 16, 2011, 11:33:57 am
Wait, Tamaki shy??!?!
XD

That's fine both of you.

Kori, let me know asap what days you're avalible. I can talk with you Steely at the picnic meet if we end up changing it to a different date. Mainly, I want to meet you and Emily. Also, since Teddy might be Haruhi, you maybe wanna be Renge?
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Kori123 on March 16, 2011, 02:03:56 pm
Alright I'll let you know.  And I wouldn't mind doing Renge but I don't have anything for her...  At all XD
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: steelychan on March 16, 2011, 08:32:25 pm
kori, shes a HUGE otaku. just get her wig and wear some cosplay. and do the laugh.

kristi, okie dokie! that works for mes!
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: nekovamp13 on March 16, 2011, 11:13:55 pm
I have a blond wig that would work for her ^^

And since we're doing a theme, you wouldn't need the uniform.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: steelychan on March 16, 2011, 11:27:47 pm
whats the theme?
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: nekovamp13 on March 16, 2011, 11:31:20 pm
We haven't decided yet. That will be one of the things we'll talk about at the meet up.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: steelychan on March 16, 2011, 11:33:08 pm
right. well, hopefully ill be able to stay for awhile.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Kori123 on March 17, 2011, 08:52:12 am
Yeah, if I could borrow a wig I'll totally do it.  Ah, but that laugh...  I had to do Tsuruya from TMoHS and that killed me enough.  XD
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: nekovamp13 on March 17, 2011, 02:24:01 pm
XD
I'll bring it to the meet so you can see it.
God, I can actually do her laugh ^^;
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Kori123 on March 17, 2011, 02:33:18 pm
Haha.  You might have to teach me...
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: nekovamp13 on March 18, 2011, 12:09:15 am
lol
It's not too hard. You just have to go "ho ho ho ho" in a high pitched laugh and sound really annoying XD
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Kori123 on March 18, 2011, 09:48:51 am
...yeah...I'll get right on that...
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Teddy_Bearxx on March 18, 2011, 11:40:03 pm
Okay. So steely failed at telling me the date, but I will be there the best I can.
I still have my old blackish wig so I'll just wear that with some tomboyish clothes.

Post by: Kori123 on March 19, 2011, 12:07:46 am
So Emily and I can go to the meet-up.  We sort of wish it was a little earlier because we want to head home for spring break as soon as possible but no big.  We did a mini shoot earlier today.  I think you'll be pleased with her Tamaki-ness.  I was fangirling EVERYWHERE.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: steelychan on March 19, 2011, 12:09:58 am

Post by: nekovamp13 on March 29, 2011, 09:06:24 pm
Ten, sounds good ^^

Kori, I feel the need to have all the hosts have accounts here so I can reach them if needed and so we can all share ideas and such, so if Emily could please get an account, that'd be wonderful.


Everyone, we really need to start talking about what we want to do in this.

Savanah and I already have an idea of how to start it: her and I will open saying "Welcome to 'So you want to be a Hoe'" and Tamaki will jump adding "st" to make the last word 'Host'.

But we need more ideas about things we will talk about and teach and such!!!

Emily has an account she just doesn't get on very much.  She does most of her stuff through me but she's ElVerde on the forums.

I'll tell her to get on more but she's usually really busy with stuff so when she's not at school, she's working on commissions and blah.

Yay!! i get to be Kyoaya!! and i am hoping to be able to go up to Portland some time this summer. i know i will be in the area the 15th-17th of April, but i will mostly be there on the 16th since i arrive on the 15th and leave on the 17th >< plus i will be at a weekend retreat >< so i don't know if i would be allowed to escape for a couple hours. even though they have let me do it before.

Ugh..so many probs. I say we all just get on a huuge facebook chat sometime. :/ Oh, and maybe post pics of ourselves in wigs and make up/ outfits?

Then write a script here and all of us practice our parts separately until we can all get together and reherse.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: nekovamp13 on March 30, 2011, 10:54:13 pm
Good idea.

If everyone could PM me there FB names so I can send out a mass-message!

And it looks like all we need is a Mori now, and possibly a Nekozawa.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Taikei on March 30, 2011, 11:49:19 pm
I figure that this way, even if we don't meet up for a while we can at least begin to memorize our lines. Wigs will probably have to be seen in person if we think they need minor fixing but outfits should be easy to see in photos.

We can even kind of rehearse online by typing out our lines to eachother on chat without looking at the script if we want. It's not a replacement for a rehersal but it's adequite practice, yes?
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: nekovamp13 on March 30, 2011, 11:56:05 pm
Very well ^^
And I agree. I figure we can do that through June and then get together during the summer when most of us shouldn't have many conflicts.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: steelychan on March 30, 2011, 11:57:18 pm
does it really matter if the uniforms all dont match? I mean, i kinda found my jacket at goodwill and some people bought theirs online. If you want, I can have kristi take a look at my hunny wig at some point before con (just not the next couple weeks. anything after april 17th is fine). I see no reason why we cant just make a page on fb and just communicate that way.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: nekovamp13 on March 31, 2011, 12:01:39 am
Maybe...Yeah, I'll do that. Make a group so we can start talking and such.

And it wouldn't matter if the uniforms were fairly close to eachother, but I have a feeling that that wont be the case. That can be something do is take a picture in our uniform with different lighting so we can get a feel for what they'll look like.

Though, we could probably just not wear the blazers, that way we wouldn't have to worry. The worse is that our ties wouldn't match (unless I make them all >>).
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: steelychan on March 31, 2011, 12:04:27 am
well, if you make them all, i can help out with at least putting the stripe on or something. im basically free labor. if everyone pitches in and gives enough money to at least pay for the ties, that would help. I bought mine at ross for like $10.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: nekovamp13 on March 31, 2011, 12:12:14 am
I actually painted the stripe on mine. It looks more apart of the tie that way.

And yeah, I'd ask everyone to get their own black tie. Either giving me money to buy them or get one of their own.

When I clicked the link I couldn't find the group...

As for lines.  I don't think we should have line-lines.  Maybe just a rough outline of what we want to do.  Other wise it goes from being improve and fun to being more a chore to do a performance.  I know for me at least, when I try to memorize lines, I over think things and just mess the whole thing up.   
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Taikei on March 31, 2011, 11:56:22 am
Well, the thing is that all of the improv host clubs I've seen have been sloppy D: I figure a little improv is okay..but that would have to be between the lines of the script. We want to look professional right? Would it look great if all of were standing around stuck on what to say? I think we can have fun with the script, since we're all contributing...but I paid to go to a host club, and the firt half of it was just them running around and talking to eachother about what the hell to do.

 This is a 'performance' kind of panel anyway. It's supposed to be 'teaching' people how to be a host instead of just doing an actual host club panel, so I think at least moderate to maximum scripting is neccessary to get things to move along smoothly. You might not have to say the lines word for word..but something along the general lines would be great.

It might be an added effort to write and learn a script, but the performance would be much better for it.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Kori123 on March 31, 2011, 01:42:13 pm
That's kind of what I was saying.  We don't want it to be just a 'show up and go' kind of host panel.  But I don't want us to get so wrapped up in lines it becomes not as fun.  Especially for the funny lines and such.  Say a funny lines so many times and it becomes less funny ya know?  Plus the more improv it is (in my opinion) the more fun it can be.  Instead of us sitting there being all 'oh yeah and in five more minutes this person will say this line and I'll have to react like this...' it's more a 'they're suppose to be saying something like this and we're suppose to react like this...' 

It's hard for me to really explain it.  I just don't think it would be as fun for anyone if we're so strict on things.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Taikei on March 31, 2011, 02:28:44 pm
How many panels are we planning on having? I figured it would be one time, maybe twice at the most.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: ElVerde on March 31, 2011, 02:37:39 pm
Never fear, Tamaki has arrived!

=n=; Hey guys. Sorry about not posting... ever. I never come on to the forums.

I agree with Kori about the not strict lines. Having an outline of stuff we should bring up, and then the rest improv would allow more freedom and make everything feel more natural than having to memorize every line and reaction.

Well, then just tell me your name and I'll friend you and then add you...
Since FB is apparently being a butt XP


And as far as a script or not, there needs to be a plan of action.
Pretty much what all of you are saying. We'll plan out how it will go and maybe figure out some lines to start topics and reactions and such.
The biggest problem with improve is you might get too many people trying to talk at once.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Kori123 on March 31, 2011, 02:54:23 pm

It doesn't have to be 100% improve.  I just think it's tough to expect people to know all their lines and what not.  We're not all amazing professional actors.  If someone misses a line or changes it completely, the others might end up lost and confused and then we'll be just sitting there looking like idiots while we try to figure out what line we're on, ya know?
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Taikei on March 31, 2011, 02:58:08 pm
@Kristi: or have no one talking at all. Lol. There are those people too. Like I know that If I don't have a script and know whose turn it is to talk..i'd flip and prolly pass out if I had to try and come up with something on my own in front of an audience expecting to be entertained
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Kori123 on March 31, 2011, 03:04:33 pm
But I think if you're in character enough, you shouldn't have to like...constantly be trying to entertain them.  So long as your in character the whole time, I don't think it'll matter what we're doing.  Script or not.
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: nekovamp13 on March 31, 2011, 03:12:14 pm

We'll work things out.
If anything, Savanah and I will probably have script of somesort. Sadly we can't read minds and so we need to work on saying things at the same time...

Also...
PLEASE FRIEND ME ON FACEBOOK!
Just look up Kristi Pandawoo, I have my Riku cosplay as my profile pic. And when you send the request, please tell me who you are. Thanks~
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: Kori123 on March 31, 2011, 03:16:03 pm
I wish we could read minds...

I'm not saying not have a script and follow it.  I just don't think we should be so wrapped up in them that we lose the point of having fun and such.  I went to this panel at Kcon two years ago that was the ultimate Naruto fan or something.  And it was a TON of fun and none of it was rehearsed or scripted or anything.  They were just comfortable enough with the characters and situation that everyone had fun. 
Title: Re: "So you want to be a Host?"
Post by: nekovamp13 on March 31, 2011, 03:22:45 pm
Not saying that we'll have a full script that we will follow word for word.

We will create a plan on the topics we want to cover and how long we want to stay on each topic, and under each topic we'll have some lines that people can say or work off of if there is an awkward silence.

And I say we need to script the opening, but that's it.

so, all of my hunny pictures are on my page but ill have to get onto a different comp to get the actual pictures and post them. and i agree with kirsti, lets just have some sort of script to follow and script the beginning. also, shouldnt we work on rehearsing in front of a "panel" audience? get some hardcore fans or something to see what kind of reactions we'll get. i think after this year i'll retire hunny (im getting tired of ouran)

Also Teddy, I'm sorry to say, but you haven't been very active with this, so Kori is going to be Haruhi.

It sounds like everyone is all thinking of the same thing. just a basic outline with a few key points for the whole panel. specific subjects, which host leads which subject. that kind of thing sounds like it would be best. and of course just cause one host is leading a topic doesn't mean the rest are sitting in the back looking bored. it's just so we the actors know what the subjects are we are talking about in the panel and teaching the people who want to be a host. even improv professionals always have a outline to fall back on in case they get stuck. it will give the panel a more natural flow and we have a safety net.

We just didn't have the time, and the forms were due at the beginning of this month. We just felt like we weren't ready and wouldn't be.
